I have to marvel how we in the Caribbean fight down our own.

old quarrels don't get let go.

It is so interesting that John has made T&T his home with his family since '97 or thereabouts.
He has developed and expanded his business since then.
He has been part and parcel of the TTRC and Rallying in T&T since then.
And now achieving that milestone of being able to be offered a WRC car and participate on the world stage, with both the T&T and Jamaican flags proudly being displayed.

WE all move on together, and the detractors shall fall by the wayside!

And I still stand by my suggestion that the government should sponsor him. He flying the Trinidad flag, it doesnt matter that he was born in Jamaica. He have Trini passport and choose to live here that good enough for me.
Its not far fetched to suggest the govt sponsor him. The Venezuelan govt sponsors a race driver in Indy series (Duno)and in F1 (Maldonado),
The Russian govt sponsors a driver in F1 (Petrov), and if im not mistaken, somebody correct me if im wrong, Markko Martin was sponsored by the govt of Estonia. So why cant we sponsor our own driver?

He would make Trinidad proud and put racing back on the front burner in Trinidad.

Somebody start a pettition.

I am thrilled that John and Mike entered...the fact that we had an entry from the Caribbean, make me have goosbumps...and frankly because I am Jamaican I am even more thrilled, however for once this is a region effort....Penti and Mike had all of us over here thrilled to pieces that they entered......fans from all over the island.....

I am so sorry he was sick, but everything happens for a reason, I hope he rests up and starts competing again next year....I would LOVE to go to Sweden and take pics.....and in fact I would love that we have more entries from this side....hint hint to Jeff and Gary.....
